I really appreciate how Valve saw the immense growth of the PC gaming market, during the COVID lockdowns, and decided to expand the reach further with the Steam Deck.

Yes they're capitalising on it, but in the best way since the product is revered as being rather good (and not half-arsed).

If I didn't have a gaming PC already, I'd consider it for sure.

I have a gaming PC and bought a Deck. It's a fantastic deal for the price, and I love being able to lay in bed and play for an hour before I go to sleep. I brought it on a vacation and played a bit on the airplane. I pack it to work in case I want to play on a break.

It's just super convenient, and I end up playing on it more than my PC. There are absolutely games I wouldn't play on it, and those I save for my PC, but a lot of my purchasing decisions for games these days include where I'll play it (Deck or PC).

I just have both because it's nice to have it (and i can watch porn on it lol)

Agree. I think the growth caused by the lockdown and their interest of pushing linux gaming even further made the steam deck to be idealized.
